Cisse's squad will face Poland in their first 2018 World Cup Group H match at the Spartak Stadium in Moscow on Tuesday.

"I'm sure that one day an African team will win a World Cup. Our [African] teams did not play at World Cups until 20 years ago but we have been more than just participants for a long time. We have no problems with playing against European teams," Cisse told journalists.

The Senegalese team is currently taking part in their second-ever FIFA World Cup. During their first appearance at the tournament in 2002, Senegal reached the quarter-finals, eventually losing 1-0 to Turkey in extra time.
